Heinrich Schopper (born December 16, 1881 in Linz , † May 7, 1952 in Vienna ) was an Austrian architect .

Life

Heinrich Schopper was the third son of the well-to-do businessman Isidor Schopper. He first attended the state trade school in Reichenberg , Bohemia , and then studied between 1904 and 1907 at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in Otto Wagner's master school. After years of practical experience, Schopper worked as a freelance architect from around 1910. From 1915 to 1923 he shared an office with Julius Chini, who followed one with Alfred Chalousch , his former student colleague, from around 1924 until the Second World War.

He was buried at the Hietzingen cemetery .

power

The documented buildings by Heinrich Schopper are only a few in number. These are municipal buildings for the city of Vienna that were built together with his partner Alfred Chalousch. Both architects were more traditional, which is expressed in the decorative design of the early buildings. It was only with the Hueber-Hof around 1930 that the two cautiously oriented themselves to modern, specifically Dutch models. During the Second World War they were probably involved in the construction of industrial plants, but no concrete structures are documented.
